  • A world that's ugly and a lie; awesome lyric. Thanks for posting!

  • Awesome :)

  • beautiful and true.

  • HOLY SUCK-ASS BATMAN!

  • The Bowling For Soup version is much better than this.

  • The tone of the cover is more consistent with the mood of the lyrics.

  • Really good cover!

  • This song feels stripped without those killer guitar parts.

  • @haupper I think that's the point.

  • Grrrr. Damn you DCFC. Damn you straight to hell. I had to know and now i can't un-know. Now I know how my buddy feels everytime someone covers a Zepp tune. And its not a good feeling.

  • Sweet's original makes me wanna dance & sing. this cover makes me wanna take a nap. Zzzzz

  • Great cover!

  • Incredible.

  • this sucks

  • Awesome!!!

    I like this version

    Thanks for the song ;)

  • tee'd and twee'd to death.

  • whimpy, sophmoric version

  • I like Death Cab but this song aint shit without the smokin' guitar parts.

  • very respectable cover.

  • Saw Matthew Sweet last year in Cleveland, he's balls out live. Solid version, definitely a good song to cover.

  • Hating on this is like hating your brother for covering a song you wrote. This is a great cover of a great song.

  • Bowling For Soup's cover is better

  • Nice cover of great song, I think one of the best ever really. And really great job with video, quite touching. Although myself I would have put more dogs in, but that is just me.

  • You people saying negative things about this, you are wrong. This is superb, what a wonderful band they are. Great version, thank goodness for bands like this. 

  • They should be smart enough to know when not to cover a song. Discretion is the greater part of valor and all that.

  • this an aboslute pile of crap bowling for soup did a much better job

  • kaululan

  • good job dudes,great song,great voice

  • I like the matthew sweet version better.

  • nice effort...but this song definitely needs to played plugged in

  • this is perhaps the worst cover ever lol

  • this guy sings like shit.

  • this makes me want to puke

  • I have to agree this is a horrible cover of a great power pop song.

  • great sounding cover !!! WOW....

  • This is horrible, this cover...

  • What an outstanding cover of this great song. I cried when I heard it. Death Cab, you guys are seriously great. How Beautiful.

  • not the same feeling i get when i hear Matthew Sweet play it. still a good song, its just that this version doesn't hold the same power as the original.

  • The singer of this version sounds like a wimp.

  • he is. his names Ben gibbard and he sucks. Death cab for cutie suck a big one.

  • this song (and the original) makes me leave a cream in my jeans.

  • hahaha

  • This is a great, great song. Too bad it doesn't have the same effect when I hear it from these guys. Not even close.

  • wow.. never, ever heard of this song...

    it does however make me feel real good about not being in a relationship.

    I am taking a big time out!

  • Gah! I love DCFC they're such great musicians. And Matthew Sweet is so wonderful. Ben Gibbard sounds just like him! Gah! I love both versions <3

  • Matthew Sweeet: truly one of the most underrated and underappreciated artists of our time. The guy writes the best pop rock songs ever.

  • And they aren't bullshit like the other stuff out there

  • @JLDB1987 You wanna talk about underappreciated? Check out Michael Penn. The man's a fucking genius songwriter and musician and doesn't get nearly as much attention as he deserves. If you like Matthew Sweet, Penn's the man for you!

  • @MatthewErich Hey Matt--agree about Michael Penn. No Myth was a great track. that first album got a lot of buzz and play, but he, like Sweet never hit it big, though MS had a few more radio hits. You are right though: good, intelligent pop songs with depth (sounds like an oxymoron, huh?)

  • @JLDB1987 You are one RIGHT mofo! He is WILDLY underrated.

  • omg pillows..

    That made me smile xD

  • check out my cool cover of this cool song. it's in my channel.

  • Wow, this is really cool as both Matthew and the guys from Death Cab are both huge musical influences of mine. Thanks for posting this! :)

  • awesome! your very welcome, and thanks for the comment. :]

  • The vocals sound eerily similar to Matthew Sweet, sadly the guitars managed to suck all the heart of the song.

  • thanks for the comment!

    yes, when i compared both versions, they seemed like different songs with different moods..

  • @rocketmangogogo Agreed, the vocals are good but the guitars sound sanitized and without ant dynamics. Not bad, just not nearly as good as the original.

  • Good Editing :]

  • :O thank you!

    it's especially hard with my vacuum..
